An alarming admission was found near the bottom of a recent New York Times article about pharmaceutical giant Merck’s new Covid drug molnupiravir.
Approved by the FDA two weeks ago, the drug was studied on isolated hamster cells for 32 days before being given the green light.
While the FDA narrowly voted to recommend emergency use authorization for the drug, France’s National Authority of Health on Friday cited the pill’s own lack of efficacy as it ruled it will not be used in the European nation.
According to the NYT report, “A team of researchers at the University of North Carolina studied the use of molnupiravir in isolated hamster cells over 32 days and found that the drug did induce mutations in DNA. Those mutations could ‘contribute to the development of cancer, or cause birth defects either in a developing fetus or through incorporation into sperm precursor cells,’ the authors of that study wrote.”
Nothing to see here, just the New York Times casually mentioning that Merck’s new miracle COVID drug…

— Cabot Phillips (@cabot_phillips) December 13, 2021 The article goes on to explain that the Merck drug only targets dividing cells, which are sparse in adults, in order to pose less of a risk to the DNA.
One of the researchers who worked on the UNC hamster study, Ronald Swanstrom, argued that adults have enough dividing cells to cause concern.
Specifically, Swanstrom said males are constantly creating dividing sperm cells that could potentially carry mutations.
“The FDA advisers also noted that the risks could extend to other patients, including men wanting to become fathers, though those risks remain poorly understood and Merck said its own studies had turned up no evidence that the drug causes DNA mutations,” the Times article stated.
Allowing a drug like this to be sold is just more proof the federal government is completely sold out to Big Pharma.

France shows they still possess intelligence.
Typically, yes, top of legs, knees, nose, cheeks and ears.
But, melanomas are not all caused solely by the sun. UV exposure, chemicals in the environment, Round-up, etc. even cosmic rays...............

Emerging diseases, cancer, infertility, and birth defects that we know of. Genetic damage could cause a whole s-load of other conditions, each needing an expensiveBring Out Your Deadcuretreatment.Billion$ perhap$ trillion$ to be made!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Poor kid. Only 32 bit math...
The overlap on the venn diagram of ‘news’ and ‘nut-job conspiracy’ is increasing in size at a parabolic rate.
They seem to be getting quieter, hmmm?🤔

Heheh! I’m surprised they haven’t seen such drugs as a “business” opportunity already since there is demand for such drugs. Be careful that in making your “request” of them that they don’t counter-offer a “distributorship” job for you phrasing it as “ an offer you can’t refuse!” LOL!
This old thing?
Tagline.
That was the point of my post. Liberals don’t think clearly.
Many memes and articles you post I put right up on twtter.
What is this drug used for?
I don't do twitter, m'self...
I wonder what happened to us. How did we get so crazy? When and how did this happen? Who did this to us or did we really do it to ourselves?
But more urgently, how do we break the hypnotic spell we’re under before it’s too late and we advance to the next level of correction and the pain that comes with it?
I have a mission on twtter. And I steal stuff to put on it!
